3.  To assist individuals
who have a disability or
who are disadvantaged
to recognize and to
achieve their chosen
level of economic and
social independence.

6.  One handed
 Visually impaired
 Hand-eye coordination
 Easy of use
 Increased production rate
 Less human interaction
 Reduce risk of cut (Safety)
 Prevents touching reflector
 Reduce cross threading

7.  Less than five steps to do and needs to be
hands on!
 Run with eyes closed
 Less than 5X4 feet base
 Noticeably marked areas and steps
 Make at least double at initial use
 Up to OSHA standards of safety procedures
 Less than $300

9.  We went back to the customer and reviewed the needs
 We realized that some of the needs we were really
focusing weren’t the most important
 FEMA showed that we were missing some of the most
important needs
 New Needs
 Durable- Should be able to last a very long time
 Replaceable-Development Workshop isn’t prepared to
replace gears and belts or other electronics easily

10.  The group kept coming up with new designs
 We would test concepts
 Test results altered new designs
 Example: We wanted a clamp. We tested foams and
found that there may be ways to not need to clamp.
Clamps caused confusion anyways.

11.  Pump Idea was an alternative option
to electric
 Idea was a mixture of push tops,
vegetable dicers, and a ratchet
screwdriver.
 Started making designs and found
same thing through benchmarking
 Would save lots of time machining by
buying online
 Bought the cheapest for testing $30
 Fine Motor Skills vs Gross Motor
Skills

12.  Explanation of Design
 Simple to understand and
provides way to hold reflector
for individuals.
 Thickness is important
 Foam is ½ thick
 Foam was donated usually $40
a tray
 Trays for wood $8
 Metal $80
 Metal and foam color contrast

13.  We came up with
Stand for an angle
option for
employees
 Would work well if
sitting

15.  After Watching the
employees use this we
have made two new
improvements
 New driver
 Grips on bottom

16.  One handed
 Visually impaired
 Hand-eye coordination
 Easy of use
 Increased production rate
 Less human interaction
 Reduce risk of cut (Safety)
 Prevents touching reflector
 Reduce cross threading
